For the first time, Mad published a regular issue with multiple covers.
Collectors were required to spend $10.00 to see the words "CHEAP GIMMICK" on
four covers drawn by Mort Drucker (with border by Paul Coker). The covers
complemented the Drucker drawings for the Mad parody of Batman and Robin
("Buttman & Rubbin'"). Covers show (!) Batman with Alf as Mr. Freeze; (2)
Mr. Freeze with Alf as Robin; (3) Robin with Alf as Batgirl; and (4) Batgirl
with Alf as Batman. In the parody, our heroes defeat "Frostbite" and
"Poison I.V." but George Clooney's Buttman decide to replace Rubbin' with the
appropriately-name Butt-Head.

Of special note in this issue is Russ Cooper's lambasting of Joe Eszterhas
and his awful screenplays ("The Joe Eszterhas School for Sleazy, No-Talent
Screenwriting Hacks!"). [JAM 5/27/2013]

Beavis is studying a chessboard and Butt-Head is reading Proust
in "Behind the Scenes at MTV".
